Lectures, guided practical, and PBL times are depicted in blue, pink, and green, respectively. There are 3 assignments (in yellow) contributing to the final grading: a report on the guided practical of week 1, due on Monday after the course ending; a project pitch; and a final project presentation, both evaluated jointly by the students and the teachers. Allocated time for the presentations per student (7 to 15 minutes) is adapted according to the overall number of students. Independent study time is planned to allow the students to prepare for the assignments.
CBM, constraint-based modelling; PBL, project-based learning.
